Hi!
I'm Varvara Nedilska, an artist and freelance illustrator currently in my 4th year of study at OCAD University. I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and now live and work in Toronto, Canada. I love to draw and paint, and take a lot of inspiration from surrealist art movements as well as folk and medieval art. I’m particularly interested in narrative-based work. Please feel free to get in touch with any comments or inquiries!
I can be reached by email at varvaranedilska@gmail.com, and you can stay up to date with my exploits on Instagram.
